24-25 season news has started arriving at J2Ski Towers and Les Menuires have announced that the cost of a 3 Vallées lift pass will actually be lower this winter (exchange rates permitting), at least if you're in a family of three or more buying the same pass (of at least six consecutive days duration) for the same duration at the same time.
The deal is that families who buy the same passes together will get the sixth day of their six day passes free, this means the total cost will be around 9% less than in the 23-24 season.
In another move, the child price upper age limit is increasing to 17 rather than the ski/airline/travel norm of 12.
"The 3 Vallées ski area is rethinking its ski offer to make it more accessible to all families and adapt to their evolving compositions (traditional, single-parent, blended, large, same-sex families...)!" a spokesperson said.
Essentially this means that the pass is available for groups of 3 or more people (with a maximum of 2 adults) and allowing for single-parent families with two children.
For example 2 adults + 1 child (15 years old) now costs €972 for 3 x 6 day passes, a saving of 8.76% (€93) on last year. It's the same price and saving for 2 adults + 1 child (15 years old). Or 2 seniors + 2 grandchildren (under 18 years old) would be €1295.60 for 4 x 6 day passes, saving 9.08% (€129.40) compared to the €1425 they'd have paid last winter.
